18. Former Minnesota Senator Mark Dayton did something similar in 2003

"Holding his nose, Dayton voted for the imperfect prescription medicine bill. But he also came up with a creative approach to show his contempt. He dropped an amendment he calls 'a taste of our own medicine' on the Senate floor. The amendment requires senators to receive prescription drug benefits no greater than those being proposed for senior citizens. It so happens the benefits proposed for seniors are drastically inferior to those currently enjoyed by our illustrious senators."
